Bowling for scorpions by CannondaleKid Overview
This is another mountain bike trail added to the Hawes Trail System in December 2018. This 'connector' trail will link the new Scorpion Trail to the Stinger Trail. Warning This trail is designed for and primarily to be used by mountain bikers, but you may encounter hikers, equestrians, and wild horses, so be aware.
This trail, the Scorpion Trail, and the Stinger were authorized by the Forest Service and an environmental assessment was completed in 2008... it just took ten years before it received the necessary funding. Part of the funding was from the Forest Service and part from outside groups. Mountain Bike Easy single-track trail with a nice flowing rhythm on a hard-packed gravel surface (some grass at the moment) featuring short straights, easy turns with few curved berms along a very minor but steady loss of elevation. Hike Very easy... no sandy washes, no thorny stuff, just a nice hard-packed surface. Due to the area being so flat, pretty much the only scenery will be the Palo Verde & Ironwood trees along with vegetation including jojoba, cholla, ocotillo, etc. Water Sources None - Bring your own. Please do not leave empty bottles along the trail or where you park. Check out the Official Route and Triplogs. Leave No Trace and +Add a Triplog after your hike to support this local community. One-Way Notice This hike is listed as One-Way. When hiking several trails on a single "hike", log it with a generic name that describes the hike.
